¹¹ Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. ¹² And ^(A)from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has been treated violently, and violent men take it by force. ¹³ For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. ¹⁴ And if you are willing to accept it, John himself is ^(B)Elijah who ^[a]was to come.

¹⁴ And they said, “Some say ^(A)John the Baptist; and others, ^[a](B)Elijah; and still others, ^[b]Jeremiah, or one of the other prophets.”
